By Leonard A. Annetta, James Minogue
The desire for a scientifically literate citizenry, one who is ready to imagine seriously and interact productively within the engineering layout method, hasn't ever been higher. via elevating engineering layout to a similar point as clinical inquiry the following iteration technological know-how criteria’ (NGSS) have signaled their dedication to the combination of engineering layout into the cloth of technological know-how schooling. This name has raised many serious questions...How good do those new criteria symbolize what truly engineers do? the place do the deep connections between technological know-how and engineering practices lie? To what volume can (or even should still) technology and engineering practices co-exist in formal and casual academic areas? Which of the middle technological know-how techniques are top to leverage within the pursuit of coherent and compelling integration of engineering practices? What technological know-how very important content material will be brushed off? This booklet, tackles a lot of those difficult questions head on.
All of the contributing authors contemplate an identical center query: Given the speedily altering panorama of technology schooling, together with the increased prestige of engineering layout, what are the simplest techniques to the potent integration of the technology and engineering practices? They spoke back with wealthy descriptions of pioneering techniques, severe insights, and priceless useful examples of ways embodying a tradition of interdisciplinarity and innovation can gasoline the improvement of a scientifically literate citizenry
. This choice of paintings builds traversable bridges throughout assorted study groups and starts off to collapse lengthy status disciplinary silos that experience traditionally usually hamstrung well-meaning efforts to deliver learn and perform from technological know-how and engineering jointly in significant and lasting ways.

Example text
Informed designers meet design challenges provide insight into what it means to teach design principles to students. In its extended form the table provides suggestions for how teachers can help their students progress from “beginning” to “informed” designers. Let’s look at an example. The first pattern—Problem Solving vs. Problem Framing—poses the challenge of helping students move from treating a design task as a well-defined, straightforward problem posed by the teacher, to a situation that needs further exploration and definition in terms of criteria and constraints.
Then there’s Earth and space science, which includes more at the high school level than physics and chemistry combined. Life science also includes a lot of really big ideas that take some time to teach; so that cannot be done in less than two semesters. And finally there’s engineering. That’s five subjects! A report from the National Research Council (2015) recommends that educators at all levels take some time to figure out how to implement the new standards, and not rush to buy new curriculum materials that say “NGSS Aligned” on the cover.
Museums develop that expertise out of necessity, because engagement is crucial: Exhibitions are a free-choice environment, and if visitors aren’t truly engaged, they’ll vote with their feet. As organizations that are free of the requirements that schools have to adhere to, we are able to experiment with developing design experiences that are genuinely motivating and support greater degrees of self-guided learning. For the past three years, our work on Design Lab has revealed ways that museums are in a unique position to help deliver on the promise of the NGSS by providing resources and expertise for supporting engineering practices that make content more relevant and widely accessible to diverse groups of learners.
